MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – A large study by the University of Minnesota concludes that the horse dewormer medicine ivermectin is not effective at treating or reducing the severity of a COVID-19 infection. However the trial did shine a light on a commonly prescribed diabetes medication.
The COVID-OUT trial was the nation’s first to study whether metformin, a medication for type 2 diabetes; low-dose fluvoxamine, an antidepressant; and ivermectin, an antiparasitic – or their combinations – could serve as possible treatments.
Researchers found that metformin, the diabetes medication, lowers the odds of emergency department visits, hospitalizations, or death due to COVID-19 by over 40 percent; and over 50 percent if prescribed early in onset of symptoms.
The study also found no positive effect from treatment with either ivermectin or low-dose fluvoxamine.
